A few years ago, Apple was only selling as many iPhones in total as they sell of a single variant today. There's still fewer iPhones variants than BTO options for Mac.I get that, but that isn't Apple. It's the thin edge of the wedge. This is Apple fragmentation compared to a few years ago.
you're missing the point. it's not magic, it's a business decision to increase margins. nothing more. they choose to not incorporate something into the standard in order to force buyers into paying an extra premium for a premium product. it's about greed, not entitlement.
First off, Apple doesn't own any fabrication plants.
Second how long and how much do you think it takes to build a fabrication facility that can yield enough output to be worth the investment? Think billions and years.
Yeah but NOT military-grade OLED like Apple will be using.
The plus has always had a better screen, better camera and better battery. The fact you want a small phone to have the same features at a cheaper price screams entitled and it's not going to happen for you.
you are still getting OIS most likely and you are getting a better lens. You are upset the more expensive phone gets the best features, which means what again? Apple is greedy?

So that 20th anniversary Mac was just a fantasy?There wont be a special anniversary iphone.. no Apple product ever had a special anniversary edition. Not saying that I would love them to Make one.. and then have an artist Make a special packaging..
Even though I am upgrading in a few weeks to the iPhone 7. This 'iPhone 8' is the iPhone we should have seen this year.
I hate to say it, but this is the first time in a long time where I am not excited for the iPhone 7, even though I am an avid supporter.
I'm hanging in there Apple.
Once you have it in your hands, let me know if you changed your mind...![]()
I completely agree. I wouldn't even trust 75% of the next iPhone rumors.Look at the number of MR commenters that have bought into every other iPhone 8 rumour BUT all of a sudden this one is just too out-there ... I love it, picking and choosing the rumours to believe and embrace and casting the others aside.
Because the word "plus" only means larger size to you, doesn't mean that's the only meaning to the word.
Apple will be well within it's right to release a plus model with more than just a screen size bump. If they want they can put a better camera, screen, processor or whatever they want, because plus doesn't mean just a larger phone.
The most common term or understanding of the word plus is to add more.
Apple is always greedy even in Steve jobs era, always. It does not change.Of course it's greed. That's why I don't use any Apple product. I'm not a sheep. They have the gall to differentiate their product line by good, better, best. That's greed, pure and simple. I don't want to pay extra money for best. And I don't think Apple should force me to pay extra for extra features. In fact, I don't like how they force me to do anything. Tim Cook and Jony Ive need to go. I know I could run the company better than those two bozos.
It should be noted that CURRENT OLED supplies are vastly outstripped by demand...but I'm sure this thread will be nothing but people bitching that Apple is being greedy.
Yeah but NOT military-grade OLED like Apple will be using.
Nonsense. Apple will stick with tried and tested technology. OLED is the definition of change for the sake of change in this case. Lots of work to put in to gain nothing.
Have you ever seen a LED next to a OLED Tv ? Or even a plasma vs a LED? I'm using a plasma cause LED is inferior ....
Have i seen fake colours? Hmmm, yes.
